When a non-descript University’s development plans involve the destruction of all “degenerate” and “unnecessary” clubs and societies, Frat-Star Ray Rhiner (Nathan Mannion) and his house of ‘frat boy outcasts’ must team up with “Theater Dad” Oliver Keaton (Blake Sartin) and his underdog squad of the theatre department in order to save their home, and maybe, experience a little culture (and romance) on the way. Written by Annahis Basmadjian, Sigma Acapella revisits the true, wholesome meaning of “boys being boys” and the endearingly unhinged quality of theatre kids. It brings a classic, playful story of fighting for one’s right to exist and create art into the modern musical world with sharp, witty dialogue, live music, and a vibrant cast of characters. 

Rushed is are also thrilled to include Featured Understudy Shows, performances dedicated to showcase all the alternate cast’s hard work! The joy of theatre is in the unique qualities of each individual actor, so our Understudy Shows are a great opportunity to see Sigma Acapella in a whole new flavour!
